The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection - The differentiated meteorites, including the irons and stony-irons, appear to be fragments of larger bodies for which separation according to density took place while they were in the molten state after formation. As a larger body cools, the more dense materials sink toward the center. This gives an important role to the undifferentiated stony meteorites, since they can be presumed to be from smaller bodies which cooled and solidified too quickly for the differentiation to take place. These primitive meteorites are then our best picture of the early history of the solar system since they have had fewer influences for change over the age of the solar system. The stony meteorites are by far the most numerous of the meteorites. They
